[PATCH 3.18 37/39] tcp: fix wraparound issue in tcp_lp

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>


[ Upstream commit a9f11f963a546fea9144f6a6d1a307e814a387e7 ]

Be careful when comparing tcp_time_stamp to some u32 quantity,
otherwise result can be surprising.

Fixes: 7c106d7e782b ("[TCP]: TCP Low Priority congestion control")
